When I was growing up as a young kid the 49ers were the best NFL program in the league and it started from the very top down to the bottom. These days Frisco has a terrible owner and horrible management therefore the final product isn’t going to flourish generally either. Earlier today Chris Mortensen broke the news that San Francisco would fire Mike Nolan after this coming week’s game against Seattle barring something big. Nolan hasn’t even had three and half years and if it wasn’t for Alex Smith being a major bust who knows how much progress this team could have made on the offensive side of the ball. It seems the 49ers brass didn’t want to wait until the end of the week once the news broke of the potential firing because just minutes ago they announced he Nolan was out. The only good thing I can say about this move is that assistant coach Mike Singeltary will be taking over the team and I hope for his sake he gets a fair shot at bringing this historic team back to their winning ways. Good luck Mike Singletary because you are going to need it.

Cincinnati covers -2.5 at home against Ravens
San Francisco covers -3 at home against Cardinals

The sports world has lost a great one today with the passing of Bill Walsh. The innovator of the West Coast offense and the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers for 10 years died this morning after a long battle with leukemia. Walsh not only turned around a struggling 49er franchise when he took over rather he turned them into a dynasty by winning three world titles in 10 years. May he rest in peace.

This week the award goes to the New York Giants for allowing the Chicago Bears to run back another 108 yard missed field goal attempt. Last year Nathan Vasher ran one back against the San Francisco 49ers for 108 and this year it was Devin Hester. Hester literally hung out in the end zone before deciding to take off because he saw some of the New York Giants walking to the side lines.
